Hey! Welcome! This has been a really great site so far, I'm addicted to it. I've been doing more reading than scrapping since I found this site this week. What kind of things do you do? I used to create scrap books, lost interest in that, a friend got me into cards about a year ago and really have enjoyed that. After being on this site, there is so much inspiration for me, I may start doing my books again. I'm a mom of 2 kids ages 21 and 16 - I work during the school year and am mostly off during the summer. How about you? Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am new to the area and new to the site but not to scrapping, I just moved to Gaylord and love it and tomorrow I am setting up hte studio ( yes the entire basement is mine to scrap decorate and have fun and set up classes. I sell stampin UP as a hobby but thinking of making it more than a hobby. I have been scrapping and card making for about 12 years now and love it.. Can't wait for September when I have weekly clases and free scrappin dates.

Welcome!! You will have to keep us updated on your classes and scrappin dates =D

Hi ladies, haven't checked in here in quite awhile. I've never been to Arnies before, although I've heard about it. May have to take a day trip down there and check them out.

Congrats Mrs.PreK on your new baby girl! Little girls are so much fun! I had a son first and then my daughter - had way too much fun dressing her up and stuff. Now she's 16 going on 21 and will not wear anything "cute or too girly". Enjoy it while you can.

momofasoldier- you aren't the same Terri that used to do classes at Michaels occasionally, are you? I had been desperately searchong for somewhere to take classes, and they had just stopped them. I've not been able to find anywhere in the MQT area that does scrapping or cardmaking classes.
On a happy note- I'm going to Appleton this weekend- get to hit Hobby Lobby, Joann's and a couple of scrapping stores. Not that I need any more "stuff". Now, I need to learn how to use up the "stuff".

Hello all - My name is Annie and I live in Mio. I scrap with a group of ladies from my church as well as I host a Scrapbooking Retreat in Houghton Lake each spring and fall. If anyone is interested please let me know and I will get you the info. The spring dates are April 30-May 2.

I actually live in southern Michigan, but we travel to the U.P. every summer. I just learned about a scrapbook store in St. Ignace. It is in the Victorian Village gift shop. She is going to start selling a lot of Michigan related scrapbook items.

Hi everyone - I'm new to this site and kinda of new to scrapbooking/cardmaking - been at it for about a year.

Regarding Arnie's - their store is great - I also like the Scrapbook Nook in West Branch - where I live. Michelle at the Nook (owner) is fantastic and willing to answer questions and show you how to do things. She has classes and has a work table you can use anytime. You can use her tools for a couple of bucks per hour - I did that when I was first starting - before buying tools. Sorry for the long post - I'm excite to find this site!
